When you click an item in the document map, the viewer jumps to that item in the report.
A document map functions as a table of contents for a page report or a RDL report and as a bookmarks panel for a section report. It provides a convenient way to navigate a lengthy report.
In a page report or a RDL Report, you can add report controls, data regions, groups and detail groups to the document map by:
See Add Items to the Document Map for more information.
In a section report, when you add a bookmark on any control it appears in the document map while viewing the report. In order to navigate to a bookmark you need to open the document map and click that bookmark.
See Add Bookmarks for more information.
In the Viewer, the document map appears in a sidebar to the left of the report, but when you export your page or section report to various file formats, they handle document maps differently.
Export Filter | Effect on Document Map |
---|---|
HTML | A .toc file containing the document map is exported along with the HTML report. |
Document map appears in the bookmarks panel. | |
Text | Document map does not appear in the exported report. |
Rich Text Format | Document map does not appear in the exported report. |
TIFF | Document map does not appear in the exported report. |
Excel | Document map does not appear in the exported report. |
In a page report or a RDL report, if you use rendering extensions to export your report, the document map is not available in any rendering type except PDF where it appears in the bookmarks panel.
